Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Have incredible adventures and write about it while I figure out what to do with my life
ABOUT ME
Hard to sum that one up... Once upon a time I was part of the corporate life. Now I make it my mission to travel and live in amazing places while I figure out what to do next. I'm a writer, an explorer, and an extremely social creature. Right now I'm a sponge, learning, meeting, experiencing, and little by little I'm figuring out what to do with it all.
PHILOSOPHY
Life cannot be satisfying until we are pursuing our passsion and fulfilling a deeper purpose. Too often people around me are wrapped up in busy tasks and a series of distractions, loosing sight of what they really live for. I figure, I've got one life to live with a finite number of days alotted to me. It is up to me to spend them wisely, making the world a better place and experiencing all it has to offer.
"A stranger is just a friend you haven't met"
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results"
"Live for the journey, not the destination"
"The world is waiting for our gifts"
"Like the shadow of a tree, our influence often falls where we are not"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
In my home in GA, my roommates and I hosted various surfers and took them out to see Atlanta. I surfed in Ireland and Scottland, some really amazing people, and have spread the word to other travelers to get into surfing themselves.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
hosted some in the states, but surfed more. i've been a roaming vagabond for the last 2 years, so hosting is a challenge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
I have a creative, open mind, absorbing everything like a sponge. My art is using words in an artistic way in my writing. I live to learn. My friends always get a kick out of all my stories and my sense of humor. I love to entertain and bring everyone together, whether it be through my words or hosting a great party.
